Good quality products

Good quality products, particularly their plants, which are healthy and robust. Staff are friendly and very accommodating, particularly Judith who was lovely and helpful today.

Disappointed and puzzled!

I ordered and paid for a Cordless hedge trimmer for click and collect the next day. Newcastle-u-Lyme store said 4 in stock. A phone call next day said they had none, and my cash would be refunded in 3-5 days. I looked again on the web and it still said 3 in stock.
So, do not travel a long way to the Store unless you have checked they have your item in stock, by an employee in Store. Do not believe what their website says.
Also cash is taken instantly and customers should not have to wait 3-5 days for refund. And, I would like to know how 4 larger items are not there, if their website says they are, a question for Head Office.

Karl was very helpful

We could not find the desired brush on the store shelves and it was approaching store closing time. We asked Karl for help and he stopped his task and went to the rear storage area. He found the brush and took the opportunity to refill the display shelves. Excellent customer service

I wanted to buy an iron but the lady who served me, Judith, thought they didn't sell small electrical goods. However I showed her that the website said there were 2 in stock. She contacted the manager and within 2 minutes I had my iron. Excellent service. Thank you 😊

Last one

Only one left in stock. Paid through PayPal and within 15mins it was ready to pick up. Guy on the desk was so very pleasant and courteous the following day when I did pick it up.
